An explanatory model of constitutional transitions from a Legal Perspective

A constitutional transition understood as a legal transition is not a revolution, because as Zippelius wrote, from a legal standpoint, a revolution is the extralegal modification of the fundamental principles of the existing legal system.1 An explanatory model is proposed to analyze transitions from...

Para analizar las transiciones desde la perspectiva de la teoría del derecho se propone aquí un modelo explicativo para distinguir las reformas ordinarias de las transformaciones de los sistemas jurídicos que podrían denominarse “transiciones constitucionales” en sentido estricto. Las transiciones se discuten conforme a criterios jurídicos, considerando dos casos: la sustitución de la constitución y su modificación paulatina. La idea es explicar los procesos de transformación constitucional y presentar un modelo teórico para tal fin. Entender el derecho como sistema de normas es uno de los presupuestos más importantes de esta propuesta.Instituto de Investigaciones Jurídicas, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México2022-01-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.juridicas.unam.mx/index.php/mexican-law-review/article/view/1656610.22201/iij.24485306e.2022.2.16566Mexican Law Review; Volume XIV, number 2, january-june 2022; 3-20Mexican Law Review; Volume XIV, number 2, january-june 2022; 3-202448-53061870-057810.22201/iij.24485306e.2022.2reponame:Mexican Law Reviewinstname:UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICOinstacron:UNAMenghttps://revistas.juridicas.unam.mx/index.php/mexican-law-review/article/view/16566/17201Copyright (c) 2022 UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICOinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/165662024-08-16T17:59:00Z
